Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. In honor of that, I’m sharing my speech from 2012 that shares a tiny part of my story. The link to the video is in my bio. . You never know who might be struggling. Don’t be afraid to talk to others about their mental health and how they’re doing. End the stigma. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and is nothing to be ashamed of. So grateful to be free of clinical depression now, for about 10 years now. I’m grateful that I had people around me who checked on me and didn’t let me give up when I was so close to doing so. If you’re struggling, I know how hard it is to believe that it will get better. I know that you feel no hope. I also know that these feelings are temporary. Keep fighting. Get help. Talk to me or anyone you trust. Never ever give up. Stay.
